There are a few steps up to the apartment, a few steps up to the 2 terraces and a few steps up to the mezzanine floor, where there are 2 single beds. Unless you have severe mobility issues, these steps should be no problem!

The cool, contemporary interior of this stunningly, beautiful apartment belies the antiquity of the grand palazzo that houses it. Opening onto views of Il Duomo, La Rocca, the roof-tops of mediaeval Spoleto and the mountains and valleys beyond, this is a million dollar location ! We receive nearly as many offers to buy this sensational apartment as we do to rent it. However, please note that this apartment is priceless and, for the foreseeable future, it is not for sale !

It has 2 totally private, double or twin bedrooms, one ensuite. And, on a mezzanine floor, there is a 3rd bedroom/study area, on which there are twin beds that can be joined. While the mezzanine bedroom is not totally private, the interior of the room cannot be seen from below.

The very large and spacious sitting/dining room has dining and seating for up to 6 persons. The 2nd bathroom is off the dining area. The 2nd bedroom is off the sitting room area.

And, there is a fireplace for the cooler winter months, although, of course, there is a powerful central heating system throughout the apartment.

Location....

In what many of the up-market Spoletini regard as the posh end of Spoleto, Terrazza Duomo is just 2 minutes walk from Piazza Mercato and 5 minutes walk from Piazza Liberta. Here, there is the tourist office, opposite the ancient Roman Forum, where plays, theatre and dance are still performed. Nonetheless, the cages that once restrained the lions from devouring the Christians, until the audiences arrived, remain intact.

While Terrazza Duomo is not on the main drag and, consequently, not in the hubbub of city life, it is within a few minutes radius, in any direction, of plenty of shops, bars and restaurants. The main 'action' takes place in 'down town' Spoleto, a 10 minutes, inspiringly beautiful, downhill stroll. Then, rather than walk back uphill, you can take the escalator, a 10 minutes pleasure ride that takes you upwards and above the roof-tops, on a covered but open moving staircase, which delivers you finally to just above Terrazza Duomo, at the entrance to the Rocca.

And, you are a mere 5 minutes walk from the very top of Spoleto, where, crossing Il Ponte, the splendid Roman aquaduct, you find yourself in the Sacred Mountains, where there are a myriad of marked paths, following in the footsteps of St Francis and his pilgrims.

Our large private pool (120 sq mts) at Villa Marianna, included in rate, is 7 miles away, along a spectacularly beautiful and quiet road, occasionally used for the famous, once a year, Giro D'Italia cycling race.

If you do not have a car, then, contact us for details of our trusty cabbie, Carlo.

This apartment was great for us (two couples). The location was perfect with just a short walk to the main piazza. Very easy access, not too many stairs . Condition of the apartment was very clean with everything we needed including 2 proper bathrooms. Spoilt for choice with the restaurants within walking distance and very close to two of the...

Met by Laurie and Etiorre (owner of the property) who gave us lots of information about the town and showed us around the amazing apartment, which contains everything and above what you need. In addition, the owner had left a bottle of wine and some lovely blackberries from his farm which were delicious.
The town has many interesting buildings and...

About the neighbourhood

Spoleto is akin to a giant, fairy-tale castle. Sprinkled with bars, restaurants and shops, peppered with piazzas, Spoleto sits magestically amidst a maze of tunnelled, cobbled lanes and alley-ways, all leading skywards to the famous Rocca, the aquaduct and, some of the best views in the world. A surreal setting, a stage-set in the making, fringed by mountains, olive groves, vineyards, mediaeval monasteries, towns, cities and tiny hill-top villages - all beckoning a visit, Spoleto is truly a temptress. Succumb to her beauty and you must use all your will-power to leave, even for a short while.

Quite simply, Spoleto is the most captivating city in Italy, never mind Umbria, Venice and Florence being on a par.

A surreal setting, a stage-set in the making, fringed by mountains, olive groves, vineyards, mediaeval monasteries, towns, cities and tiny hill-top villages - all beckoning a visit, Spoleto is truly a temptress. Succumb to her beauty and you must use all your will-power to leave, even for a short while.

Quite simply, Spoleto is the most captivating city in Italy, never mind Umbria, Venice and Florence being on a par.

Venice has the water. Florence has the Uffici. Spoleto has the mountains. All three have a history to be reckoned with. All three bedazzle us with their rich cultures, their European, aristocratic connections and their sheer beauty. But, Spoleto has the upper hand for the world traveller. It resists tourism with its associated inflated rates and tacky goods on sale ! You are invited to visit Spoleto, but, not as a tourist. You will be welcomed like a long lost member of the family ! Treated like a king. And, you will pay the same rates as all the locals, especially when you pay attention to all our recommended restaurants, bars and gelaterias.

Until 20 years ago, the Spoletini were completely disinterested in inviting strangers into their midst, (except for its once a year famous festival and the likes of Andy Warhole, Brigitte Bardot, Peter Sellers, Sophia Loren and Pavarotti, all of whom had homes here) and existed in a private colonial-style private splendour with 2 bars, 2 shops and 2 restaurants, all ludicrously expensive. All this changed with the mass influx of Italians from outside, who have opened bars, restaurants and shops on every corner.

Subsequently, Spoleto is in demand with those in search of 'the authentic Italian' experience, love beauty and who wish to base themselves in the centre of Italy because, from Spoleto, you can get to practically anywhere else in Italy easily and cheaply within minutes to a few hours.

Until now, it had always been too expensive to stay in Spoleto. Holiday-makers were forced to stay outside of Spoleto and drive in. We have changed all that. We have 'unlocked' Spoleto, with our range of centrally located apartments, at rates that are competitive with our 'out of town' apartments, making Spoleto affordable for you, at last ! And, because Spoleto is still a quintessentially Italian place, the prices are LOCAL prices and have been unaffected by the beginning of tourism.

The famous city of Spoleto, in the middle of Umbria, in the centre of Italy, is perfectly positioned on a hill. Surrounded by mountains, there are plenty of outdoors activities available...horse-riding, rambling, caving, cycling, white water-rafting, swimming, bird-watching, sky-gliding, hiking, flying and tennis. And/or, you can go olive oil tasting, wine tasting, truffle hunting. Or, you can learn to cook AT ANY LEVEL, like an authentic Italian chef.

You can drive to the Adriatic in 2 hours. The drive there is spectacular. Along the Valnerina, you pass Norcia and then on to San Benedetto Del Tronto, a truly Italian beach resort. Along the way, you can take a 20 minute detour just after Norcia and visit the Gran Piano....a place that is a must to visit - it is truly magical. And, here you find white truffle served in the restaurants as well as the famous Faro.....the food round here is delicious and wonderfully characteristic of the area.

Spoleto is close to Assisi, Foligno, Trevi, Bevagna, Perugia, Todi, Orvieto, San Gemini, Gubbio and Lake Piediluco, all between 20 mins to 1 hour, all spectacular drives. It is about 1 1/2 - 2 hours to Lake Bolsena and Lake Trasimeno. It is about 1 1/2 hours to Rome, 5 hours to Venice, 4 hours to Naples, 3 hours to Pisa and about 2-3 hours to Florence.

Spoleto resembles an illustration from one of those classic fairy-tale books. Walking through its cobbled, arched streets is like walking in a dream. It is the kind of place where fantasy meets reality and you believe that anything could happen !

Spoleto predates Rome. It was a Latin colony and Roman community and life in Spoleto flourished. Many splendid monuments were built. Then, at the end of the 6C, Spoleto became the residence of one of the most important Dukes of Longobard. And, the town that centuries ago had heroically driven back Hannibal became self-governed. Later, it was invaded by the Barbarians.

Importantly, both these battles took place on the door-step of La Rocca dei Perugini, the building that houses several of our rental apartments (that can be booked together for larger parties, at a discounted rate), the latter battle of which caused La Rocca dei Perugini to be built in order that the Perugini could keep a watch on the conquered Spoletini. But, the Spoletini fought back, pouring hot burning oil upon the heads of the unfortunate Perugini, killing them outright.

This famous battle took place just a few metres up the road from the Rocca dei Perugini at the Torre Del'Olio. And, after two years of blood-shed, the Spoletini regained Spoleto.

Perugia and Spoleto are now on friendly terms with one another, even though we all know that Spoleto should have been the capital of Umbria. Spoleto is better suited for the role, given its supreme hill-top location in the centre of Umbria and, its outstanding beauty !

Fortunately, these atrocities didn't adversely affect the cultural growth of Spoleto much. From that period onwards, many magnificent monuments and works of Art were added to those that survived the atrocities, which you can easily see by googling Spoleto.

However, it is not essential to be steeped in history to be able to appreciate the spirituality and awesome beauty of Spoleto. The spirit of its fascinating past is immersed in every stone and cobble. Within this mediaeval setting, you can also enjoy the finest wines, the best truffles and the most mouth-watering olive-oils in Italy in the myriad of bars and restaurants scattered in and around the tiny, arched streets. You can literally savour some of the best cooking in the world here. You can sit for hours in the piazzas, sipping real cappuccino and enjoying ice-creams to die for. And, for the really irreverent among you, there are always the shops and, not-to-be missed by any self-repecting Italian, that most famous of all Italian activities, the passagiata that takes place between 5.30pm and 7.30pm, come rain or shine !!!

Of particular interest to our guests who have children is the fact that there are several pools around here, all within easy reach. And, for those people without a car, the nearest pool is very large with picnic areas and a bar; and, there is a bus that takes you directly to this pool, which takes about 10 minutes. It stops at various points throughout Spoleto so that wherever you are staying, there will be a bus-stop conveniently placed for you.

For the more sporty amongst you, there is also a flash tennis club that you can use, which is within walking distance of almost anywhere you are staying – or, it is a short bus-ride from Piazza Garibaldi (otherwise, a 15 minute walk). And, there is pony trekking that takes place just outside of Spoleto. The stables are placed in a exquisite environment and, you can either go on long treks into the mountains or just do an hour or so in the nearby woods – all supervised, the level of supervision depending on your level of expertise.

Other activities available are swimming, fishing, cycling, walking......these and many more activities such as wine-tasting and truffle-trails can be investigated at the tourist office in Piazza Liberta in central Spoleto - the persons to speak to are Max or Cyncia, both of whom speak perfect English and who are very helpful – Max, in particular. Here there are also maps with places of special interest marked on trails (including the Rocca dei Perugini) as well as many more walking trails in the hills round about.

It is, also, very easy to reach Assisi, Perugia, Bevagna, Orvieto, Trevi, Norcia, Todi, the Gran Piano and Castellucio – all between 10 – 50 minutes drive. Or, there are the trains and the busses. And, our nearest lake is Bracciano, a small town with a castle, where the wedding took place of Tom Cruise and Katy Holmes – about a 50 minute drive.

However, while all these other Umbrian towns and cities are worth a visit, Spoleto is the one to actually stay a while because it has everything ! Of all the Italian cities, Spoleto is arguably the most beautiful and one of the most diverse in what it has to offer the world traveller. Very much a town and country experience, you can lounge in bars, gelaterie and restaurants, meander up and down the cobbled arched streets or, you can don your walking kit and set off into the hills, treading the very same foot-paths of the millions of pilgrims who have trod this path since time immemorial. Walk for a maximum of 15 minutes in any direction from anywhere in Spoleto and you can be in the mountains, immersed in the most spectacular scenery…….bright green valleys, hills covered with olive groves, thick woodland, monasteries, castles and tiny villages dotted here and there – a truly magical environment ! Particularly, if you start your walk from across the aquaduct.

Glamour and style….. Or, walking boots and a stick ! The choice is yours……………..

You can choose between, town, village, country or mountains or pick'n mix - we have apartments almost everywhere. And, should you choose Spoleto, THE FAVOURITE DESTINATION, you have easy access to everything you could possibly want or need - just step out of your door, go in any direction and, it's all there for the taking. Spoleto It has even been quoted as being Prince Charles' favourite city – indeed, he has a place in the hills looking down on this mediaeval city. But, please, don't let this put you off !! In any case, I love Spoleto, all our guests love it, Italians from all over Italy rave about it, it is SO beautiful……..what more can I say ! It is an experience not to be missed.
